antelope, and one Of the ancient kings
carried several thousand to the field with
him. To-day they are used In certain
parts Of Africa. Their legs are remark
ably long, enabling them to capture the
Aeetest sntelopes. They ere generally
taken TO the field IN cages, and whom the
game 10 sighted released. As soon q
free they creep through the grass, steal
ing upon the victim like cat, and finally,
when close upon It, rush cut, leap upon
Il, and bear Il to the ground. The owners
now rush up and drive It on, and secure
the game.
In North Africa the falcon 10 used to
hunt the antelope, the birds being trained
to follow the animal and seize its throat,
beating its head with their wings and 90
confusing It that It soon falls exhausted
70 the ground.
In our own country the otter and seal
have been utilized as hunters, the former
being especially good fishermen, seizing
large salmon and other fishes. As they
only eat the head and upper portions
they are much more Trustworthy than Q
seal, whose first impulse is to secure .
good dinner for itself, and then very Of
ten is too lazy to hunt for its master.
The custom of using animals In this
way, however, is becoming rarer every
year, and while 200 years ago hundreds
Of dollars were paid for single trained
falcon and every gentleman hunted with
them, hardly a trained pair can now be
found in all England.

CARRYING THE CREEL.
One Of the Extinct Marriage Customs sf
North Britain.

One Of the Extinct Marriage Customs sf
North Britain.
Early in the day after the marriage those
interested in the proceedings assembled at the
house of the newly-wedded couple, bringing
with them ''creel' or basket, which they
filled with stones. The young husband, on be-
ing brought to the door, had the creel firmly
fixed on his back, and with it in this posi-
ton had to run the round of the town, or at
least the chief portion of it, followed by q
number OF men to see that he did not drop
his burden; the only condition on which he
was allowed to do 90 being that his wife
should come after him and kiss him. As re-
lief depended altogether on his wife, 1t would
sometimes happen that the husband did not
need to run more than few yards, but when
she was more than ordinarily bashfui, or
wished to have q little sport at the expense
of her lord and master-which It may be
supposed would not unfrequently be the case
-he had to carry his load considerable dis
tance.
The custom was very strictly enforced, and
the person who was Last creeled had charge
ious that no one should escape. The prac-
tice, a. far e Galashiels was concerned,
came to an end about 100 years ago, with the
person Of one Robert Young, who, on the
ostensible plea of ''sore back" lay abed all
the day after his marriage and obstinately
refused to get up and be creeled. He had, Il
may be added In extenuation, been twice
married before, and had on each occasion
gone through the ceremony of being creeled,
and no doubt felt that he had had quite
enough Of creeling.-Au ths Year RoWSd.

Chicago Women Making Toboggan Caps

''That makes over 80O," said the manager
Of knit-goods mandatory, as a young
woman with bundle in her hands closed
the door behind her. II advertised for
women to do crochet work at their homes,

"Why is there special demand for GRO
chet work at this season of the year?'
'Toboggan caps" was the laconic reply.
"You see we're getting ready for next win
ter's trade, and q there seem to be no signs
Of the toboggan craze dying out, we want to
lay in good stock Of material to fill the
demands Of the jobbers. This crochet work
is an excellent thing, by the way. and there's
many family in Chicago which is entirely
supported BY IL. II doesn't require much
skin, and woman with any aptitude for
that kind of work can easily crochet ten caps

little income out Of the work. Strange to
say, however. most Of our applicants are
married women, who are supported In
comfortable style by their Husbands.
They have everything they want except
PIN money, ana they take this means
Of getting It. After all. It's sort Of

Once upon time there lived In the beauti-
fnl city Of Denver certain gentleman Of the
name Of Toll, and he was . judge All over
the State Of Colorado, and elsewhere, too, this
Judge was famed for his goodness and his
learning. In fact, he was 70 good and 10
learned that one Christmas Eve Santa Claus
came and brought him Q sweet little baby
son. The Judge was very proud.
II will rear this little son to be good and
great jurist," said he, land when am old
and feeble he will be the staff and comfort Of
my age"
One of the first things Judge Toll did was
to hire nurse to take care Of the pretty little
boy, for IL 30 happened, sadly enough, that
the baby's mother was not strong enough to
carry the baby and amuse 1t all the time.

How handsome and contented the baby
is" he would say to himself, land what a

But one day the old nurse came to the
Judge and said: 1--WE must do something for
the baby"
The Judge was vastly astonished.
"You surely do not mean to tell me that
the baby is sick ?'' he exclaimed.
mo, not exactly sick" said the old nurse,
'but he needs toning up. He is fat and
strong and contented. but there is kind of
look in his eyes that tells me that he needs a
tonic"
"Then we will call the DOCTOR" said Judge
Toll excitedly.
There's no need of that" protested the
old nurse. 1.-THE doctor would simply laugh
at you and say that the baby was all right.
But know, just as well as know anything,
that that child needs toning upP'
"Well, then, what shall it ber asked
Judge Toll. "Paregoric, squills, castor oil,
hive syrup belladonna or what?'
"None of them." answered the old nurse" !"
'for they are all drugs, and the baby doesn't
need drugs. What he needs is toning up"
The Judge said nothing; he did not know
what to say. OF law, of politics, of mining,
of literature, and of other worldly things he
knew much, but of baby tonics he knew SIM
ply nothing.
''What the baby needs is catnip tea," said
the old nurse. Nothing will tone up a
baby's system like catnip tea. Down in Yer
mont an Maine an Mass 'chusetts they always
bring up their babies on catnip tea, an that's
why their babies make such smart men an
women"
"But thought catnip was something cats
ate," interposed the judge.

AN OCEAN CABLE
Greatly Needed i'm the western
Main.

SAN FRANcIsco, July 19.-The MEM
bers of the Chamber of Commerce
held a meeting this afternoon, at
which resolutions looking to the en-
largement of the Fire Department
and the improvement of streets and
sewers were adopted. The following
concerning the proposed Pacific cable
was adopted: Whereas, the political
and commercial relations of the United
States with the Hawaiian Islands,
South Pacific Islands and Australia
are rapidly increasing, and whereas
the laying OF the telegraphic cable ON
this route is accompanied with grave
financial and scientific questions which
will prevent the use of exclusively
private capital therein; therefore be it
resolved, that the Chamber of Com
merce of San Francisco forward to the
ensuing Congress a memorial, to be
approved by the Board of Trustees,
earnestly petitioning our Government
to offer such inducements that capital
may be attracted to this great enter
prise, to the commercial and political
advantage of the whole country.
